    My wife will show me instagram nonsense and it’s just annoying as fuck. There’s text and video and speaking all at the same time immediately in the video, there’s no possible way to get all of it on the first view, so you have to let it loop. I fucking hate it

      It’s even worse if you refuse to download the app or make an account. My friend used to send me Instagram links fairly frequently (until they started allowing you to download the videos instead) and the instant you open the page the video starts playing muted, with the cookie shit covering half of it. By the time you’ve dismissed that and unmuted it you’ve missed the start of the clip, and for some reason it doesn’t let you replay without making an account (or refreshing the entire page but that muted the video again)
